This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," June 4 - 5, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

MARTHA MACCALLUM, FOX NEWS GUEST HOST: And after much anticipation, President Obama made his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo, Egypt, today. He wasn't the only one in the Middle East. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went along for the trip, and our own Greta Van Susteren was there, as well. Secretary Clinton went "On the Record" with Greta in Cairo.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Madam Secretary, nice to see you.

HILLARY CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE: Very good to see you, Greta.

VAN SUSTEREN: Now, I don't want to make it a pop quiz, but I'm just curious. Since January, how many countries have you visited, any idea?

CLINTON: You know, I could stop and count, but I've been all over the world on behalf of our new administration and President Obama and our country. It has been the most extraordinary honor to go from Latin America to Asia, representing American values and interests.

VAN SUSTEREN: Obviously, here in Cairo, Egypt, and the -- it must be particularly important to the administration because not just the president of the United States but the secretary of state is here, as well. Why did you both come?

CLINTON: Because this is a very important part of our new diplomacy, our outreach, our policy of engagement and partnership. This is something the president promised to do early on in his term. And it is my second trip to Egypt since I've been secretary of state.

I came and was at Sharm el-Sheikh for an important conference. And it is really critical that we make clear, as the president did in this magnificent speech he gave, that we want to work with people all over the world, regardless of religion -- we have, you know, no feeling of hostility or conflict with Muslims everywhere, we have very specific principles and values that we believe in, which the president outlined today -- becausewe're looking for ways to solve problems and promote progress and prosperity with people of good faith. [ I guess that does not include religious Jews in Israel, but it DOES include Muslims/ terrorists, DS]

And I thought that it was important that we all be here to send a strong signal that America is doing what the president said we would do in his inaugural address, you know, he'll stretch out his hand, and hopefully, people will unclench their fists.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, it seemed to me in listening to the speech -- I think the president said that the point of the speech was sort of to reboot America's relationship with the Muslim world. But it seemed to me that all roads lead back to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that if -- you know, if that could be resolved, it would certainly go far towards solving lot of the other problems in the area. Am I right?

CLINTON: I think, as the president pointed out in his speech, that is certainly a very important part of our relationships with people all over, in particular Arab countries, majority Muslim countries.

But extremism exists apart from that. Democracy and human rights need to be pursued in spite of that. Women's rights have to be elevated and respected. Economic opportunity has to be made broadly available. The threat of nuclear proliferation is a threat to people of all faiths, in every corner of the world.

So it is an important part of what we have to work on, and the president and I have been very engaged in that from the beginning. But he wanted to put it rightly in a broader context, which is important because we don't want people saying, Well, if only that issue were resolved, then everything would be fine. That is not the case. There are other, you know, concerns that we have to be honest in addressing, and I think the president did an excellent job in setting those forth.

VAN SUSTEREN: But if we -- if that one doesn't get addressed -- and I don't know that it can -- I mean, certainly, many administrations have tried it. It may be sort of the problem that can't be solved. I know everyone valiantly tries to solve it from the United States. But if that one can't be solved, you've got so many other sort of companion issues.

CLINTON: Well, yes, and that's why we're working on all of them. I mean, we're going forward as early in this administration as we possibly can. It's why I recommended appointing special envoys. But we know that there are independent sources of challenge.

The threat of Iran having a nuclear weapon is one that has to be addressed with the same high-level priority. The problem of extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan has to be put on the front burner.

So we're not elevating one of these issues over the other. We are addressing all of them because they are interconnected, and that was part of the point the president was making.

VAN SUSTEREN: It was sort of interesting listening to the audience, though, is that there were -- there was a lot of applause when he mentioned something like, you know, no more settlements or anything that was favorable to the Palestinians.

And then when he said things like, you know, You can't threaten -- it's wrong to threaten Israel, or you know, that there are Holocaust deniers and things like that, there were no applause lines. I realize we're in Egypt, but it was -- it seemed like sort of a -- this is sort of a friendly environment for Israel and the United States and the Palestinians. I thought that was unusual.

CLINTON: But you know, Greta, what was so important about the president's speech is that that is a speech that he could give anywhere. It will be read by, I would bet, hundreds of millions of people in the next weeks and months.

And it was, as he said, the truth as he saw it, obviously, from an American perspective but nevertheless, one that has, you know, basis in evidence and history. And I think the fact that he came here and talked about everything -- of course, there was going to be some greater reaction to parts of it because it was familiar terrain. But he planted seeds. He encouraged people to have to have a conversation and to think hard about their perspectives and points of view.

I think he also challenged Americans, you know? He went right at how we can't have stereotypes for other people, as we don't want to have stereotypes about us. This was a speech that I believe will be viewed historically as a very significant turning point.

You know, one of the most important points that he made was how, if the Palestinians had pursued a different path of non-violence, of you know, following an example of a Gandhi or a Dr. Martin Luther King, who knows where we'd be right now, that violence is not the answer. It does not change hearts and minds, it hardens them.

I don't know whether people who have such a different perspective will hear that and think to themselves, Well, you know, there's something there that I should perhaps ponder. But without saying it, without offering the challenge in such an eloquent and reasoned way, one thing I know for sure is that nobody will have that conversation. And I think it will happen now.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, and I agree that the speech was eloquent, and I - - you know, I think more than anything, we all would like to see all the principles laid out, the democracy, women's right. But the thing that sort of stuck me is that he said very -- and he's said it before -- no more settlements. And at the same time, I know that Netanyahu is talking about sort of natural growth, which doesn't mean no more settlements.

So now here's -- here we're saying, This is not going to happen, but in fact, it is happening, you know, unless you say natural growth construction is not new settlements.

CLINTON: Well, we're at the very beginning of this effort. I think it is important for the president to set forth his concerns about the Israelis and the Palestinians because he made it very clear, no more incitement against Israel, security, not violence, to set that out as part as what we have directed George Mitchell to do, which is to get in depth with both sides, really not just the Israelis and the Palestinians, but also the Arabs, and to say very clearly, Here's what the United States believes is in the best interests of the Israelis and the Palestinians.

We know we can't get there by imposing such an ending. That's not our position or role. But we want to be as clear in our description of what we think will lead to a more peaceful and secure future for Israel and for the Palestinians.

And then we have to work with the parties. Now, we've made progress over the past, you know, 30, 35 years. We've really seen progress. You know, who would have thought that Egypt and Israel would have ever made a peace, Israel and Jordan, that certain concessions would have been made by successive Israeli governments, regardless of their political parties. So I think the president, as he said, is patient.

You know, we're starting early because we know what a hard road we're asking people to travel. But that patience, that persistence and perseverance that he and I feel toward this very difficult challenge means that we are going to keep saying what we believe and we're going to keep working with those who have to make the decisions.

Am Yisrael wants the Temple rebuilt!

A survey conducted by the Panels Insitute revealed that 64 % of the Israeli public , and half of secular Israelis, want the Temple rebuilt. 97% of respondents know that the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av ( Ninth of Av).

The survey's second question queried the public’s desire to rebuild the Temple. Sixty-four percent responded favorably and 36 percent said no. Analysis of the answers revealed that not only hareidi-religious and other religious Jews want to rebuild the Temple, (100 percent and 97 percent respectively), but also the traditional public (91 percent) and many secular Jews (47 percent) do as well.

Just a reminder to our many enemies, specially 'you know who' (below ), from Isaiah the Prophet:

Isaiah 49:24-26

"Can prey be taken back from a strong one; can the righteous captive escape?

But thus said Hashem: Even the captive of the strong can be taken back, and the prey of the mighty can escape; I, Myself, will take up your cause, and I, MYSELF, WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN.

And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh, and as with sweet wine shall they become drunk; then all flesh shall know that I am Hashem, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel."

Words of wisdom: what to do to save lives and preserve freedom of the Jewish People in Israel:

... Coming from a traditionally very passive and peaceful sector, United Torah Judaism:

"There was no reason for [the mother] to be in jail... Now we all understand that these things can be stopped by burning garbage and ripping out traffic lights”

MK Meir Porush, UTJ - about the riots in Jerusalem

A word of wisdom...coming from what was once the Land of the Free...

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."Samuel Adams, American Revolutionary

Very appropriate quote , although more than a century old.

"There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech,

but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press."

--Mark Twain

... And more truths about truth:

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.

To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing.

Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."

"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."Dresden James.

We live in times of unprecedented dangers, therefore,

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing, because he could only do a little."

PICTORIAL REVIEW OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN GUSH KATIF

Here below, you will be able to see for yourselves what REALLY happened during the Gush Katif expulsion; how the GOOD JEWS of ISRAEL were BETRAYED by their so-called leaders.

Link provided by Barry Chamish.

Now you understand whom we are dealing with in this country: TRAITORS. They pretend to have the nation's best interests at heart, but this is all a mirage, a lie; either they are self-serving, or THEY WORK FOR THE ENEMY, and they cannot be trusted.

Only TRUE and FAITHFUL LEADERSHIP will get us out of this morass; AND G-D'S INFINITE MERCY, B"H.

We are waiting for Mashiach to come and rescue us; meanwhile, we do what we can to HELP THE GEULAH.

QUOTES BY THE ENEMY, AND ABOUT THE ENEMY'S TACTICS

Here below are quotes related to the enemy's nature, tactics and philosophy.

Always remember: LEARN FROM YOUR ENEMY, EMULATE HIM, but for the FORCES OF GOOD!

Whenever he does A, do A, in reverse.

He does B, do B, in reverse.

We might not have his financial resources or capabilities, but we have a much greater ally: HASHEM.

Remember David and Goliath. We are David, and with God's help, we can defeat Goliath. All we have to do is UNMASK THE EVIL GIANT, UNMASK HIS TACTICS, UNDERSTAND HIS DECEPTIONS, AND EXPOSE THEM TO THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF DAY.

AND PRAY TO GOD FOR HELP.

AND ALWAYS, ONLY STRIVE TO DO GOOD,

SO THAT WE CAN BE A FORCE OF GOOD AGAINST THESE MESSENGERS OF DARKNESS.

"PROPAGANDA CANNOT TAKE TIME OFF"

"Propaganda cannot take time off"

... one of the key rules ofmodern disinformation, which is that the required message must be repeated very frequently if it is to pass...

THE STATE IS THE ENEMY!

"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the ... public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security.

This is the political logic which remains behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened."

OBAMA THE MUSLIM

THE DARK SIDE OF THE U.S.A.: AS IN SERBIA, SO IN YESHA...

... in 1998, the US State Department and intelligence agencies decided to use the Kosovo Liberation Army to get rid of Slobodan Miloševic. "The US agenda was clear. When the time was right they were going to use the KLA to provide the solution to the political problem" – the "problem" being, as Marshall explains earlier, Miloševic’s continued political survival. This meant supporting the KLA’s terrorist secessionism, and later fighting a war against Yugoslavia on its side. Marshall quotes Mark Kirk, a US naval intelligence officer, saying that, "Eventually we opened up a huge operation against Miloševic, both secret and open." The secret part of the operation involved not only things like stuffing the various observer missions which were sent into Kosovo with officers from the British and American intelligence services, but also – crucially – giving military, technical, financial, logistical and political support to the KLA, which, as Marshall himself admits, "smuggled drugs, ran prostitution rackets and murdered civilians.""Bags of money had been brought in for years....Organisations controlled by George Soros also played a crucial role, as they were later to do, in 2003–4, in Georgia....The so-called "democrats" were, in reality, nothing but foreign agents."

MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE PPS"Will there soon be an anti-Jewish genocide in Israel?"

Land of Israel Crusader

I am a Jew living in the Land of Judea (Eretz Yehuda), which was given to us, the Jewish people, by G-D Himself. I love this place very much; I will do my best to develop it, cherish it, protect it, turn it into the paradise it was always meant to be - and defend it against any and all enemies of Am Yisrael.
